The Buzz: Eddie Bauer comes back

Eddie Bauer left Grand Chute's Fox River Mall in January 2013 when its central corridor spot was gobbled up in the massive Forever 21 expansion.

At the time, mall executives said they were keeping an eye out for another suitable space for the outdoor clothing retailer to come back.

It appears that's now on the front burner, though Eddie Bauer's exact location in the mall hasn't been revealed.

"I can confirm that Eddie Bauer will be opening a store in the Fox River Mall in late 2014," said Molly McWhinnie, public relations manager for the company. "I will be sure to share additional information about the store as we get closer to the grand opening."
